Chalkboard Menu
Text-to-Image“Handwritten-style chalkboard menu in a cozy café, all text rendered in the exact same realistic chalk handwriting style with natural variations in letter size, slight slant, and chalk texture — no printed or digital fonts anywhere on the board. Title at the top in elegant cursive chalk handwriting: ‘TODAY’S SPECIALS – APRIL 30, 2026’. Below it, three menu items also in the same handwritten chalk style: ‘Truffle Mushroom Risotto – $24’, ‘Grilled Octopus with Lemon & Herbs – $28’, ‘Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies – $9’. At the very bottom, smaller text in the identical handwritten chalk style (slightly smaller but still clearly legible with the same handwriting characteristics): ‘All items made fresh daily • Ask about our gluten-free options’. Warm ambient café lighting, visible chalk dust and smudges, realistic handwriting imperfections, no clean printed text anywhere.”

FLUX.2 [dev] Flash
- + Excellent text rendering with accurate spelling for all items.
- + Highly realistic chalk texture with dusty smudges and authentic handwriting variations.
- + Perfect adherence to the prompt's layout and style requirements.

Stable Diffusion 3.5 Large Turbo
- + Bright, clean composition with good lighting effects.
- + Includes decorative elements like plants and cafe furniture.
- − Numerous spelling errors such as 'trulale' and 'ocotpg'.
- − Text looks more like a digital brush font than authentic chalk handwriting.
- − Failed to include the correct date and prices as requested.
Verdict: FLUX.2 [dev] Flash followed the instructions nearly perfectly, producing a photorealistic chalkboard with legible, correctly spelled text and a natural hand-drawn feel. In contrast, Stable Diffusion 3.5 Large Turbo struggled significantly with the text accuracy and the specific handwriting style, resulting in a more 'clipart' aesthetic with many typos.
